Most Disturbing Films Of All Time

by RainbowDahlia85 | created - 06 Jun 2017 | updated - 07 Jun 2017 | Public

I'll just be honest here: I refuse to watch Cannibal Holocaust, Nekromantik, or Salo, 120 Days of Sodom, and I could only get through about an anal-numbing quarter of The Human Centipede before basic human decency kicked in. I would rather eat my weight in refried beans then ride a roller coaster before seeing half of the "films" on these kinds of lists. Don't get me wrong, I worship horror movies on all physical and psychological levels, but I have my only-a-little-above-average-sadistic limits. So THIS list will consist of the "disturbing" films that I have actually SEEN or WILL see for that matter. Some of the picks aren't as graphic and gratuitous as others, but most are quite chilling, thrilling, bloodcurdling, dreadful, harrowing, repellent, macabre, and breathtaking. Some are cinematic masterpieces, some are huge cult classics, and some are just plain butt truffles. I don't like to discriminate ;) Enjoy!
